It has been rumored, talked about and hoped for by fans of the demonic doll Chucky — Jennifer Tilly will return to the newest horror installment, Curse of Chucky.

Tilly confirms to USA TODAY that her character, Tiffany, appears in the sixth edition of the Child's Play franchise, which started 25 years ago.

"I mean, it was like coming home again," says Tilly. "The truth is out."

Curse of Chucky appears on digital Tuesday and on Blu-Ray/DVD Oct. 8.

Tilly starred in and provided voice work as the doll version of Tiffany in two Chucky moves: 1998's Bride of Chucky and 2004's Seed of Chucky. The ultimate dysfunctional relationship continues now with the plastic doll and the Oscar-nominated actress.

"It was really fun to drag out the push-up bra, the seven-inch heels and put on the blond wig again," Tilly says. "Every 10 years or so they let me make another Chucky movie."

"It's a fantastic moment when Tiffany materializes in the movie," she adds.

As the exclusive clip shows, Tilly shows ample cleavage ("I do give the fans what they want") in a scene where she puts Chucky in a box to mail to a new potential murder victim.

"She is helping him in his nefarious ways. There are people he forgot to kill and he's a perfectionist," says Tilly. "He will not stop. He's not going to stop painting the Sistine Chapel before he's finished. He's tying up loose ends."

The Tiffany role is a cameo in the movie, "which means, I have minimum screen time for maximum paycheck," says Tilly.

But it will be big news for fans of the horror franchise created by and directed by Don Mancini.

"When I was on the set, Don was so happy," says Tilly. "He was beaming. He was hovering around me saying how great it was to have Tiffany back."

Both Chucky (voiced by Brad Dourif) and Tiffany have a love of killing in common. He might have killed her a few times in movies past, and he has certainly been killed, as well.

"But their love continues," says Tilly. "I think Tiffany will always be in love with Chucky no matter how horribly he treats her."
